It was a good battle, and they nearly won.

Growl

I am fighting a very violent battle with Drupal. Drupal is a wonderful system for creating websites, it’s poweful and might and awesome and all of that – but it’s created by geeks for geeks and, as PNH said, therefore drives normal people insane.

Right now I am trying to insert a map into my pages. One map. Google very kindly makes it easy for inserting a map into your node… only in my case, there is no way to let the marker show up. I mean, there is a way, of course there is – but the more I delve into the forums and support posts in the Drupal site, the more I want to scream.

“Of course I created a View with Gmap, but…”

HOW did you create the “View with Gmap”?

HOWL.

And the mystery of the disappearing stories? Shall we talk about that? yesterday I strolled around my site and completely coincidentally noticed that out of the three stories I have posted, two are gone. The title is there, but the content, puff!

After trying to find out what was going on, I gave up and posted the damn things back again. As soon as I hit save, pufff! again.
